Electrolux supplied a fridge that chills beer in half a minute, an oven that bakes a pizza in two and a half minutes, and a laundry the judges praised. Here is where each turned up, what the products are, and what Australian owners say.
Electrolux at a glance

The Block Head’s take
A fridge that chills a six pack in 30 seconds is the sort of claim the show likes, because it is measurable, cold, and nobody has to explain it.
The oven is a stronger story. Two and a half minutes for a pizza, in a kitchen where the contestants have usually spent the previous fortnight burning toast, is a mismatch worth watching.
Owners are blunter than the judges about the French door fridges, so the praise in episode 33 for the laundry is worth keeping separate from the fridge numbers.

What Electrolux makes
Quad-door fridges. Electrolux sells quad-door models under UltimateTaste, including a 562L UltimateTaste 700 and a 609L UltimateTaste 900 in dark stainless steel, according to the brand’s site.
The 340 degree oven. On screen, the oven was described as reaching 340 degrees and baking a pizza in 2.5 minutes, and the model was not named. Separately, ChannelNews reported that Electrolux planned a 399 degree in-kitchen pizza oven for the Australian market, tipped for 2026 at around $4,500.
Laundry. Electrolux’s front-load washers and dryers are widely sold in Australia, and the judges’ comment in episode 33 refers to the range generally.
What owners say
ProductReview.com.au lists Electrolux with 615 reviews. Individual models vary a lot.
- 681L French door fridge EHE6899: 2.1 out of 5 from 70 reviews, 65% negative. Complaints include noise and a short life for the price.
- 562L quad door EQE5657BA: 1.0 from 3 reviews, all negative. A tiny sample, but it is the quad-door shape.
- Other fridges: the 529L EBE5367 scores 4.1 from 7 reviews and the EQE6870 3.9 from 5.
- Ovens: the EVE614 series scores 3.2 from 32 reviews. ProductReview has no ratings for the 340 degree oven.
- Brand site: Electrolux’s own pages show 3.8 from 85 reviews for the 562L quad and 4.5 from 87 for the 609L. Some reviews there were collected through a prize promotion, so they are not independent.
These are self-selected opinions, not a test. Reviewers also comment on Electrolux service, in both directions.
If you are thinking of buying
- Check reviews for the exact model, because Electrolux scores range from 1.0 to 4.1 on ProductReview.
- For a pizza-speed oven, check preheat time and whether the function is sold in Australia under your model.
- Compare the warranty terms, which vary by product.
